The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) is temporarily increasing Rand Water’s bulk water allocation as an emergency measure to address water shortages in South Africa’s economic hub. Rand Water abstracts 4 400 megalitres of water and has already exceeded this allocation by over 1 600 megalitres since the start of the spring season to meet the rising use and demand across the Gauteng metropolitans, district and local municipalities.
